CULTIVATION OF CROPS.
How Thorough Stirring OF ths Soil Affects
tho Growing Plants.

tho Growing Plants.
After seed has come up, the frequent
stirring Of the soil will prove beneficial.
1t is not generally necessary TO caution
any one against stirring the soil too
frequently, still this may, not impos-
sibly, be- sometimes oycrdOnc, at least
rs regarded from financial point of
view. Following a rain, and after the
land is dried sufficiently 10 be in good
working condition, is the best po ssiblo
time for giving the soil thorough stir
ring; for then it will be left in fresh,
lively condition, that will give the
growing crop a surprising start.
1t may be well to note here that il is
not profitable to stir the soil when il is
too wet, or to hoe crops when they are
dripping with water. as some people
do; even cabbages. celery and turnips
are not benefited, If indeed they escape
serious Injury, under such treatment.
In cultiyating crops of any descrip-
tion, II is necessary 10 boar in mind
that, when they are young and grow

stage such active cultivation would
have tendency to ripen of the crop,
rather than promote its growth.
During dry season, or period Of

the soil is stirred around growing

thus enable them To absorb il.

PLUGGED WATERMELON.
Methods Devised by Epicures for Improving
the Flavor of the Fruit.

New York Letter i'll Philadelphia Press.
sit would surprise you, old man." said New
York broker to his rural brother visit to
the metropolis, "to know how many methods Of
serving watermelons to the gourmands have been
invented. Many prefer a plugged melon filed
with claret. but for my part nothing equals a
sherry melon. Good pale sberry-and it is
hard to get-shonld be boiled down 60 almost a

reached the proper temperature, pour in into
the melon, place the fruit il the ice box and

can get it. The meat of the melon is COM
ture placed in freezer until fine needles of ice
begin to form in it. Then It is served, and
nothing can equal it as a cooling decoction."
The rural brother was much impressed with
the epicure's erudtion on the subject of the
watermelon. That evening at dinner be was
still further astonished when the epicure or
dered as an entree some watermelon fritters,
and as confectIon some candied watermelon.

answered George. They cover piece of cold
melon with delicate batter and cook it 80
quickly that the fruit hasn't time to be much
affected with the heat That Is the way these
fritters were made. Then they take very
cold piece of melon meat, immense it in boiling
sugar, remove it instantly, and you have the
candied melon that you have eaten. They raise
the finest watermeons in the south of France to
be found IN Europe-although they scarcely
equal the melons get from Georgia
and any cook from Southern France
will tell you all about preparing the
fruit. In France they do not allow the waste Of
the best part Of the melon, which is the outside.

Trouble in the Chicago Club.
r. al n rhicaun Times


There has been trouble in the Chicago club,
which became worse Saturday night. and the
players Sunday were almost in open revolt. The
gist Of the affair be summarized in these
words. ''Anson must GO" Asstated yesterday,
the fining of Pfeffer the last straw which
broke the camels bacK, and the position of the
entire team. with perhaps two exceptions, was
thus unfolded to the Times correspondent:
"You have been saving could not win unless
we hit the ball." said one Of the players.
"Yes."
sCan Arson tell whether we miss 1t acct
dentally or On purposeP
NO
"Well, then. what is ne going to do If we do
no better than we have been doing lately?"
This is probably the angry remark of an angry
man; but the fact remains that there is little
hope of the club winning games with its mem
bers in their presen. temper Dr. In fact. it has
that have kept the revolt smothercd for so long.
he baving upheld Arson and played great deal
better ball than he was really called on to do.
Now, however he is disguised. and to-day he
said to the Times correspondent: "Anson
can never square this thing with
me. / will not submit TO such treat
ment 1t is nonsense 20 expect a to
submit to being fined every time Arson loses
his head. will obey all just rules. but will
not put myself at the mercy of Ansons bad tenn
per. Why he threatened to expel me. / would
like to see him try it. All during the game ne
kept cursirg me, and I'll stand it no longer. No
amount of apologies can explain Ausons actions
He gets crazy times. and is the easiest ratified
man that ever played ball In that game he did
not know what he doing, and SO vented his
wrath on me in the shape of curses and fines
won't stand it. and have written for my release.
/ don't know whether will get il or no."
Pfeffer's statements in regard to Anson's ac
tons are correct. Arson was red in the face all
during the game. and completely lost his temper,
which is never too manageable ct any time. 1t
is this habit of giving way TO his rage on the
ball field which has made Arson so unpopular
with all the men under him and caused all the
present trouble. Thsre is no dispute about the
strict discipline which Arson has introduced.
The older men all SAP he is right IN that, and at
to-day's meeting of the Brotherhood of Ball
players Pfeffer introduced resolu-
ton 10 the effect that the brothe--
hood bind itself TO aid the managers
In all endeavors to promote sobriety and
eentlemanly habits among the men. 1t IS SIM
ply Anson's bad temper, and Pfeffer says,
the men will not put themselves at the mercy of
it. The action OF the brotherhood has also
couraged the players. and they are feeling more
Independent than they did. They argue that
II the managers get too overbearing there is
weapon in their hands whereby they
